I really enjoyed reading this book but I’m not sure that I liked it that much. Bob is not a pleasant person by design, but the amount of detail we learn about him makes him compelling by default. He constantly disagrees with himself, loves and hates everyone around him, is fearful and determined: there is a level of relatability to him but not the pleasant kind.

Overall I was expecting to love this book, as Catch-22 is one of my favorites, but I don’t think I’ll be rereading it.
